| Have to echo the previous comments. Found this place pretty unremarkable and had a forgettable pint of an ale I have forgotten the name of. Was busy and am probabaly being unduly harsh on it as I was expecting more from it but certainly not worth getting off the train for. Snarling_Mallard - 8 Jan 2012 11:17 |
| This pub, once the Yorkshire Pub of the Year is becoming a victim of its own success. On a Saturday, every time a train arrives, a load of twenty/thirty year olds pile in - followers of the Ale Trail promoted a while back on TV. They are usually loud, drunk and in recent times have started dressing up in 'traditional' Yorkshire garb - cloth caps, collarless shirts, waistcoats. Some males even dress as women in cheap tatty skirts and shawls. It's embarrassing, it's cheap, tawdry and tacky. It's not the pubs fault - they make shedloads of money from this image. But if you like to have beer in a quiet yet congenial atmosphere, avoid this place at weekends. Ghastly. Just ghastly. arihall - 15 Oct 2011 21:13 |
| Ros Arden is ruining this pub and has destroyed it's fine name. All the best staff have left or been fired. It is such a shame as this pub used to be packed out daily. Now it's a shadow of it's former self with bad standards, poor beer, disinterested staff, mucky floors, bad smell, flies and Ros prowling around driving customers away and sacking staff!

| The new manager of The West Riding is horrible! she prowls the bar floor looking down at the customers, talking down to the staff, and generally turning the beer sour! Ms Arden is dragging this once fine pub down kicking and screaming, and it is a great shame. beerbeer - 10 Sep 2011 10:17 |
| The best station bar I've ever been to for sure. Called in twice; once on the Real Ale Train Trail, and once more recently whilst waiting to be picked up from the station. A choice of half a dozen or so real ales, along with various ciders and the usual pub offerings. I enjoyed a couple of pints of very well kept Roosters Yankee; at £2.50 a go it was excellent value for money - particularly as the popularity of this pub and lack of any other serious rivals in this area could dictate that they could set their prices a bit higher. Well worth a train trip to seek out this gem alone ! MountainMan - 19 Jul 2011 16:40 |
